A process for dendritic web growth is described. The process includes providing a melt, growing a dendritic web crystal from the melt, replenishing the melt during the step of growing the dendritic web crystal, and applying a magnetic field to the melt during the step of growing the dendritic web crystal. An apparatus for stabilizing dendritic web growth is also described. The apparatus includes a crucible including a feed compartment for receiving pellets to facilitate melt replenishment and a growth compartment designed to hold a melt for dendritic web growth. The apparatus further includes a magnetic field generator configured to provide a magnetic field during dendritic web growth.

A solar cell having self-aligned metal electrodes and underlying relatively deep emitter regions joined by relatively shallow emitter regions under the surface not covered by the electrodes is formed in a semiconductive substrate by forming relatively shallow p+ and n+ diffusion regions on the front and back surfaces, respectively, of a silicon semiconductive substrate, screen printing aluminum onto the front surface of the substrate in a desired electrode pattern, heat treating the developing cell to form the relatively deep p+ type emitter regions underneath the electrode pattern, while growing an oxide passivation layer over the uncovered portions of the substrate surface, applying an antireflective coating to the front surface in the regions not covered by the electrodes, and screen printing silver over the electrodes on the front surface and over the back surface of the solar cell.

A process for fabricating a solar cell is described. The process includes: (1) providing a base layer, (2) fabricating an emitter layer of p-type conductivity on a same side as the non-illuminated surface of the base layer to provide a strongly doped p-type emitter layer and a p-n junction between the n-type base layer and the p-type emitter layer. The base layer of the present invention has n-type conductivity and is defined by an illuminated surface and a non-illuminated surface. The illuminated surface has light energy impinging thereon when the solar cell is exposed to the light energy and the non-illuminated surface is opposite the illuminated surface.
